Cool tones of grey ran through the office this week, with girls wearing the color in a number of creative ways. There was not a storm in the sky when it came to these outfits. We loved how the color created a 90’s grunge feel with an over-sized sweater and black patent Dr. Martens.

It’s coming to that time of year when gift giving is on your mind, and every little bit of inspiration helps. Our holiday boutiques are like little treasure troves of ideas for trinkets that might make someone smile. Our new Bazaar Treasure accessory shop has a handful of rich textures and gems that seem like they have been handpicked from around the world.

We’re are excited to announce that we have launched our very own line of Free People shoes.

They suit all personalities and will add a certain uniqueness to your look. We had fun styling 3 of the boots and catching up with the designers and buyers behind the line. Read More

Come winter all I seem to wear almost every day is my winter coat, and I must admit it does get a little boring. Your outfit changes underneath of course but because of the biting chill your coat becomes your number one piece for commuting. Over these last couple of weeks I’ve been thinking about ways to mix it up a little, adding in certain details that can make a difference, like brooches, a colorful scarf, embroideries or…an applique cuff that is so easy and quick to achieve.
